Any good physical theory must resolve current experimental data as well as offer predictions for potential searches in the future. The Standard Model of particle physics, Grand Unified Theories, Minimal Supersymmetric ...

We explore the phenomenology of effective field theories in two different cases. First, we look at a mirror universe model, using an orbifold compactification of the heterotic string, in the free fermionic approach. An ...

A central theme in this dissertation is the notion of the quantum vacuum. To a particle physicist, the term 'vacuum' means the ground state of a theory. In general, this ground state must obey Lorentz invariance, at least ...

We investigate several issues regarding weakly coupled free fermionic heterotic
string model building. After reviewing the necessary background, we first address
an alternative interpretation of the GSO projection in ...
